On October 24th, 1971, an exciting new anime premiered based on the hit
manga "LUPIN III" by legendary creator Monkey Punch. For 50 years, the exploits
of master thief Lupin III and his gang of outlaw pals have thrilled and
entertained audiences worldwide, spawning over 300 serialized episodes, more
than 10 feature films, dozens of standalone specials and OVAs, with even more
adventures currently in the works. As one of the most popular and prolific
animated franchises, it has evolved through the decades, capturing the hearts of
several generations. It has inspired and launched the careers of film makers,

directorial debut of the legendary Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away, Princess
Mononoke) who directed perhaps the most recognized LUPIN THE 3rd
feature film, The Castle of Cagliostro.
